Chapter 602: Ginny is in a coma and the Horcrux is found

Ginny was still with her good friend, and they were all waiting to touch the basilisk.

Some people noticed Professor McGonagall coming over, but no one paid much attention to her. Almost everyone's attention was on the basilisk that was so close.

Professor McGonagall walked up to Ginny, and without anyone noticing, she gently pointed her wand at her.

She didn't utter a spell or wave her wand, but Ginny still froze, then her eyes rolled back and she suddenly went limp.

The student following behind her was startled and immediately reached out to support her.

"Professor McGonagall! Professor McGonagall! Ginny fainted!"

Professor McGonagall had just walked past Ginny and turned around immediately after hearing this.

"what happened?"

She asked with a concerned look on her face.

"I don't know. Ginny was fine just now, but she suddenly fainted."

The student who was holding Ginny was startled and spoke with a trembling voice.

"Delicious food, Miss Janice, I don't blame you... Come, put Ginny down and let her lie on the ground first."

Professor McGonagall said to the panicked girl, and immediately instructed her to put Ginny down.

The other students around stopped looking at the basilisk and gathered around, concerned about Ginny's situation.

The Weasley family has a very high reputation in Gryffindor. Well, Ron is an exception. Starting from Bill at the beginning, to Charlie and Percy later, these three brothers were all academic masters, and Percy still is.

Although George and Fred's academic performance is not as good as their three older brothers, that is purely the result of not studying hard. Their grades are not very good, but they are good at studying various magical gadgets. They are a pair of lively treasures in Gryffindor and everyone likes them very much.

Then there is Ginny. It seems that Ginny has continued the legend of her other three brothers except the twins and Ron. She performs very well in class, has a good personality, and is very beautiful. It can be said that except for some inferiority complex, she has almost no shortcomings.

Such a girl will naturally be liked by others, and the first-year girls in Gryffindor all like to play with her.

Now that Ginny has fainted, it's normal for everyone to be concerned about her.

"Everyone, everyone, don't crowd around us, move aside a little to allow some air to circulate."

Professor McGonagall spoke loudly when she saw this.

When the students around her heard her words, they took a step back obediently.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the crowd, and soon, Ron hurried through the crowd and came to Ginny.

"Ginny, Ginny what's wrong with you?"

He loved his little sister so much that he was more saddened by Ginny's accident than by his own.

"Mr. Weasley, stand back!"

Professor McGonagall suddenly raised her head and looked at Ron. Her stern gaze frightened Ron so much that he froze in place.

"Don't make trouble. Ginny is fine. She just fainted. Go find Madam Pomfrey now and ask her to come over and take a look."

Worrying too much can lead to confusion. When faced with such an unknown situation, it is better to let professionals come and deal with it. Ron is not a doctor, he can't even treat the simplest illness. Professor McGonagall, based on her attitude of responsibility to her students, naturally has to stop him.

Ron finally came to his senses and turned around and ran out.

Zhou Ming was standing on the second floor, watching all of this. He looked at Professor Dumbledore speechlessly.

"Is this your solution?"

"It's very useful, isn't it? Okay, next."

Dumbledore suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhou Ming's wrist. "Feel this spell first. When you leave Hogwarts for the holidays, you can try to learn it yourself."

He was not worried at all that Zhou Ming would not be able to learn the spell of Apparition. Now the only thing that restricted Zhou Ming was the anti-Apparition spell that was everywhere in Hogwarts. This spell could ensure that no one could use Apparition in the school, which could well protect students and prevent the school from being suddenly attacked by foreign enemies.

However, this restriction is ineffective against elves and phoenixes. The spells cast by house-elves seem to be similar to those cast by humans, but in fact it is a different spellcasting system. The anti-Apparition spell of Hogwarts can only be used against humans, not elves.

The Phoenix's ability is not the Apparition, but a racial talent that uses the ability to move freely in flames to achieve an effect similar to the Apparition.

In addition to these two, there is another person who can break the rules, and that is Dumbledore.

It is difficult to achieve this. First, one must have the authority of the principal. Second, one must be able to remove the influence of the Anti-Apparition Spell on oneself. Finally, one must have strong strength.

All three are indispensable.

And even if it was Dumbledore, he could only lift this restriction temporarily. It wouldn't be long before this restriction would be put back on him again, even if he was the headmaster.

But it is enough to temporarily enter Gryffindor Tower.

The next second, Zhou Ming felt dizzy, and when he came to his senses, he was already in the Gryffindor tower.

"Although this is not a good thing to do, it is the only way to do it for the safety of students."

Dumbledore whispered, and suddenly raised his wand, drawing a wide arc in the air.

The students in the common room were the first to be affected. Their eyes immediately became empty and everyone sat or stood like zombies.

Then, the students in their respective rooms fell into the same state one after another.

In just a few seconds, there was no sober student left in the entire Gryffindor house.

"What kind of spell is this?"

Zhou Ming asked.

"A large-scale Loss of Mind spell belongs to the category of black magic. It should have caused irreversible damage to the target's mind. But I improved the spell a little bit. Now it can only temporarily make people with weak resistance lose their minds. It will be fine after a while. It won't leave any hidden dangers."

Dumbledore explained.

Everyone says he is the greatest white wizard of modern times, but most people forget that he is also very proficient in black magic. It makes perfect sense to say that he is a dark wizard.

It's just that he is very restrained in using his power, and because of his already powerful strength, he is not affected by black magic.

"Let's go, it's time to go see Tom."

Dumbledore said as he walked towards the girls' lounge, and Zhou Ming immediately followed.

The two climbed the stairs and soon arrived at Ginny's room.

There was no one in the room. The four girls in the room were all first-year students, and they were all with the basilisk at the moment.

Zhou Ming raised his hand and gently wiped his eyes. When he looked towards the room again, a black shadow immediately attracted his attention.

He walked forward and opened the drawer, inside which lay a diary.

"Found it," he said.

"Is this it? It's actually a diary?"

Dumbledore also came over and said in surprise.

"Otherwise, what do you think it would be?"

Zhou Ming reached out and picked up the diary, and asked back.

"I thought too much. I thought it might be a relic of another founder. But if you think about it carefully, this possibility is indeed very small. The relics of other founders are also very precious. It is unlikely to appear in the hands of an ordinary student."

"Have you investigated the whereabouts of other relics recently?"

Zhou Ming asked.

"We've already investigated. If nothing unexpected happens, Hufflepuff's gold cup has long been missing, and Slytherin's relics are nowhere to be found either. They should have all been made into Horcruxes by Tom. Currently, only Gryffindor's sword has escaped this disaster."

Dumbledore said with a sigh.

"If the founders knew that their relics were transformed into Horcruxes by their descendants, I wonder what they would think."

"I guess it's a complex mixture of satisfaction and depression."

"I can understand being depressed, but being satisfied is..."

“Wouldn’t they be satisfied to see that there are such excellent juniors?”

“If we look at it from the perspective of the four founders, maybe that’s really the case.”

Dumbledore shook his head and chuckled.

In the era when the four founders were active, the magic world was not as strict about dark magic as it is now. There were many wizards who used dark magic, and the education of wizards itself was not systematic. There was originally a mixture of black and white magic.

The so-called dark wizards were not as terrible as they are now.

After all, the problems faced by wizards at that time were much more serious than they are now.

Dangerous magical creatures, pursuit by Muggles, and other wizards with ulterior motives, so wizards of that era, if they didn't know any dark magic, would probably not survive long.

The four founders established Hogwarts mainly to provide young wizards with a place and opportunity for systematic learning, to prevent young wizards from suppressing their own magic in order to avoid being hunted by Muggles and eventually becoming Obscurus.

They came from that era and were no strangers to the dark arts, and Slytherin himself was an expert in this area, so if they knew that their descendants could use their relics to make Horcruxes, they might really be happier than sadder.

It was not until later that the magical community isolated itself, completely separated wizards and Muggles, cut off Muggles' sight, and wizards gradually formed a training system, and there was no more internal turmoil. Only then did the Ministry of Magic gradually list dark magic as a taboo, forbidding ordinary wizards to learn it.

So when Zhou Ming said this, Dumbledore thought it was very reasonable.

"Okay, let's go while I can still Apparate around the school."

"What a convenient ability. I wish I could use it someday."

Zhou Ming said enviously, if he could still use his own power, then he could naturally teleport at will, but now it is impossible.

"Haha, just wait until you become the headmaster of Hogwarts."

"That's fine."

Zhou Ming curled his lips.

When Dumbledore said this, he definitely did not really want him to be the headmaster. To put it bluntly, it was just a small test to see if he had any ideas about Hogwarts.

Zhou Ming didn't quite understand Dumbledore's way of thinking. Did he really regard Hogwarts as everything? Indeed, Hogwarts played a very important role in the wizarding world. It can be said that the wizarding world today is a large-scale Hogwarts.

Ninety-nine percent of the wizards who are still active in the wizarding world are graduates of Hogwarts.

But even if Hogwarts really disappears one day, there will be a second Hogwarts in the wizarding world, it just won’t be called this name.

And to be honest, if he really became the headmaster, it would be a good thing for Hogwarts.

After all, as long as he is alive, he can guarantee that no one will dare to cause trouble. He can make the entire magical world, no, people all over the world, never dare to have such an idea.

Unfortunately, this world is too small. Even if the corruption is cleared and this small world is connected to other big worlds, this world still cannot withstand his power.

At most he would place a clone here, and his real body would probably never enter here again.

Then, the two used Apparition to return to the headmaster's office, and after they left, the Gryffindor students woke up at the same time.

Just as Dumbledore said, although it was true that he used dark magic, this spell did not cause any bad effects on the students. They just lost consciousness for a while, and they didn't even realize it.

After regaining consciousness, they continued to do their own things, completely unaware that the headmaster and another Ravenclaw student had entered here and even entered the girls' lounge not long ago.

It didn't take long for all the professors to gather in the president's office.

"Minerva, is the little Weasley girl okay now?"

Dumbledore asked.

Professor McGonagall simply ignored him.

This made Old Deng somewhat embarrassed.

Professor McGonagall was angry with him. He had communicated with Zhou Ming before. It was such a big thing, such important news, but he didn't say a word to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall was the vice-president of the school after all, and could not be treated as an ordinary dean. As a result, Dumbledore really concealed the matter. If he had not changed his attitude later and planned to let Zhou Ming come forward to cover for Harry, he probably still would not have revealed the truth.

Let me ask you, who in Professor McGonagall's position would be able to accept such a thing?

Besides, Ginny fainted today because of Professor McGonagall. If you listen to Dumbledore's words in a positive way, it means he cares about his students. If you listen to it in a negative way, he is doubting McGonagall's ability.

Professor McGonagall didn't lose her temper on the spot, which was a sign of her being very well-mannered.

If it were him, Zhou Ming could guarantee that Dumbledore would never want to see that scene.

"Ahem, everyone, let's get straight to the point. This diary is Voldemort's Horcrux."

Dumbledore spoke up.

The diary just lay quietly on the table. Without him saying anything, the other professors didn't even realize that there was something wrong with the diary.

Now hearing what he said, everyone showed surprised expressions.

"Is this a Horcrux?"

Professor Flitwick immediately floated up, flew to the diary, and looked at it carefully with wide eyes.
